Just like the redhead in the previous post, this longtail drake was carved and painted by Captain Harry Jobes of Havre de Grace, MD. I ordered the longtail from Riverside Retreat and Goosefoot Decoys as a combination birthday and Christmas present in early December of 2014. The longtail is the second Captain Jobes decoy I have in my collection, to go along with matching buffleheads that I got for Grandpa P and Uncle Josh.
The longtail has a great paint job and a beautiful signature, including a date. It had been a while since I had spent so much on a decoy, but given that it was carved by Captain Jobes and that I don't often see a longtail decoy, I thought it was worth the $85.
